Welcome to the first installment of the Self-Funded with Spencer Podcast Newsletter!
The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you apprised of all of the latest releases, as well as spotlight upcoming guests on the show.
This week we released Episode 56 with Craig Julien , CEO of HealthSmart.
Listen/Watch on
Craig became CEO in April of this year, though he has been a part of the HealthSmart team for over 6 years. The episode's focus was the crucial role of the TPA for self-funded employers, and to discuss how HealthSmart is using technology to enhance the overall member experience. Craig is a fascinating person, being a Iron Man triathlete, a World Record Holder in skydiving, as well as a frequent traveler to South America to summit some of the world's tallest mountains. This truly was an interesting episode, and I feel grateful to get the chance to meet people like Craig and hear their story!
Next week, Episode 57 will feature Chad Collins , the CEO of Corganics where we will discuss the emerging market of clinical-grade CBD, and its application as a potential therapeutic alternative to prescription drugs. This episode was a lot of fun because Chad has an incredible story to tell about his father, a war hero who experienced multiple tragedies throughout his life, yet found a way to persevere. Craig has written a book about his Dad, and shared a chapter with me before the podcast to read. It is going to be an amazing book!

2 年This is awesome. I frequently don't have time to stop and watch a podcast. But I can get through a newsletter efficiently and can save them for when I do have time.
